A cold Christmas Express that put us in the spirit

Despite all of the warnings of snow and rain we dodged that bullet and the Christmas activities went off without a hitch.

Now it was cold — that is true enough — but the weather was perfect for a parade and Christmas and party we did.

Santa and Mrs. Claus were in the depot and, of course, they are always the highlight for the kids. The depot was beautifully decorated and a warm respite from the cold.

The salute to our soldiers was moving and Bailey McAnulty on the trumpet, was touching. The entertainment of the Murray St. Singers and Communities in Concert Band were the perfect addition to all of the fun.

The parade was the best ever and Kristi Moreland, parade chairman, did a great job of lining it all up.

Of course we couldn’t have had the parade without the firemen and we are always so appreciative of them.

Thanks to Hunter Matula for driving the Chamber float. It was a great night and a good way to kick off the Christmas season.

I am sure you are like me with something going on every night but remember to take some time for yourself this season.
